  • I had a good relationship with my dad, but he passed when I was 21. I’ve now been alive longer without a father than with one. He had major faults: racist, homophobic, and started going Baptist when he got cancer. If he had survived it, I think that downfall would have progressed and he’d be a fucking Maggot by now. I don’t think he’d get along well with his pansexual son, bisexual DIL and transgender grandkids. So, and this is not a good feeling, I’m a little appreciative of the fact the relationship ended when it was still good. But I’m haunted by what it would have been like if he survived. Like I said, we had a really good relationship. He taught me all kinds of outdoorsman skills, taught me how to keep family close, and how to honor my word. I don’t know if I could have handled if he survived and continued along that path.

    My mom always lived for herself and was abusive. I still flinch when someone touches my face because she hit us so much. I cut ties on my wedding day almost 10 years ago and am much happier and healthier.

    They both taught me how not to parent and as long as I keep in mind how their words and actions made me feel, I know how to be a good dad to my kids. I’m not going to say they did me a favor there, but I do rely on that lesson to guide me.



  • I have the ROG Ally with Bazzite. Now, keep in mind that I don’t run performance tests on hardware or anything like that. I’m just a gamer that works in IT.

    Bazzite works just about flawlessly on the Ally. Every game I’ve tried has functioned very well and I have had exactly zero crashes. The only complaint I have is that I have to manually set the audio to route to my soundbar every time I reboot, which isn’t a huge deal to me.

    With that said, if I had room on a regular credit card instead of just my BBuy one, I would have gotten the steam deck just because I don’t like white compute gear and the deck is the standard at this point.
